Delusional Injury Update: Latest Darren Waller, Mike Evans, Elijah Moore news, more impact on Week 17 start calls

Darren Waller, Mike Evans, Elijah Moore, and Pat Freiermuth are all contributors to the fantasy rosters set to compete for the championship, so their status as they head into Week 17 will greatly affect their performance. calls start. As always with pass catchers, the imaginative perspective of their teammates will be important to discuss, as catchers may not show up during monster weeks thanks to new-found opportunities ( like Isaiah McKenzie in Week 16). We have the latest updates on each player below.

Darren Waller COVID / trauma update

Just when it looked like Waller (knee) was finally set to return, he placed on reserve list / COVID. Since he was shortlisted on Wednesday, there seems to be a very slim chance of him being cleared for Sunday. Even if he’s wiped out, there’s a chance he’ll miss the game, so don’t count on him being out there against the Colts.

Foster Moreau has been a solid producer, three of his five games starting this season, and since the Colts allowed third fantasy points for TE, he’s been a sneaky TE1 contender. stealthy and should be considered the top streaming TE of Week 17.

WEEK 17 STANDARD ASSESSMENT:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker

Mike Evans COVID / trauma update

UPDATE: Evans returned to training on Thursday.

Evans (hamstring, sub/COVID roster) has an uphill battle to play in Week 17 against the Jets, but he reported back to practice on Thursday and the lines are already running. We should prepare as if he were going to come on, but he’s obviously the one to start if he’s going to play. If he is out, Breshad Perriman will fill the outside and will be an explosive upstream game in a time of crisis. At the very least, he is a great darts thrower in the DFS GPP tournament. We can also expect Antonio Brown to get a portion of the absurd target.

Even would comfortably rank in our top 10 across all formats if he could play, and Antonio Brown is WR1 whether Evans plays or not. It should be noted that Tyler Johnson could also be a good player in the GPP league, as he has no goals in Week 16 and the public will no longer have him. However, his lousy performance made it impossible for him to count on regular fantasy tournaments.

WEEK 17 PPR RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker

Elijah Moore Injury Update

UPDATE: Moore was ruled OUTSIDE for Week 17.

Athletic’s Connor Hughes reports that Moore (quad) “within 50/50” to play in Week 17 against Tampa Bay. That said, we’ll just have to wait and see his status around game time on Sunday, but in what should set up to be an attack first for New York, he watches considered as a boom or bust option. We believe he is a good absorber, but in the end, Zach Wilson could have a disastrous performance, which might silence Moore. There is also the possibility that Moore could be gone during garbage time, so the range of results here is extremely wide.

We like Moore in mid-to-low WR2, but again, he has WR1 in reverse but on the low end. If he is out, Jamison Crowder (if he has a calf injury) and Braxton Berrios certainly have appeals, but their upside is clearly limited.

Pat Freiermuth . Injury Update

UPDATE: Freiermuth was in full training on Thursday.

Freiermuth (concussion) missed the Chiefs game and we don’t have an updated practice report, but he posted on Instagram “see you on Monday night”. We can assume that means he will be available for the game against Cleveland, but as always we cannot trust what the player has to say and will have to see his condition at the end. week.

Freiermuth led all targets in the red zone (18) and he caught seven touchdowns during the year. At the end, the upside down touch carries a lot of weight because the overall position isn’t super productive, so he’s always had to be thoughtful when starting out. We watch him at TE1’s borders in a match against the top 13 for tight finishes.
